I use dryer lint for fire starter as well. Just make sure to use lint from purely natural cloth. Synthetic fibers won't help. I tend to just collect lint from bath towels that I typically launder separately.
The trowel as a spare peg is a cracking idea! Nice! In the past I've just broken a stick and jammed it into the ground. Hardwood like eucalypt here in AU makes for a rock solid peg! At one time I even thought to save the peg weight and just find sticks every camp....but then I remembered that I'm UL, not bushcraft!
These were really good. I'm taking a spare bottle cap as a stake pusher. And as a spare bottle cap! One thing I am going to start doing is sometimes digging my cathole in advance. I didn't think much of the idea until I was hiking Pictured Rocks a couple of years ago. The campsite had one of those toilets that just sit out in the open--no building, but I couldn't find it in the dark. By the time I started digging a cathole, things were getting a little urgent. And I kept hitting rocks! Stressed me out!
@@chrislrob A pre dug cat hole is a pretty clever idea in and of itself. I think I may just add that to my tool belt sir. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching. 🙂
@@augustoconde1459 That's a good point. My socks work but they're a wool blend. I think most hiking socks are, but I probably should have made that clearer. Good call for pointing that out. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching.🙂
Pillow + t-shirt trick is cool

Candles are good lubricant for zippers also do all mine with it

Of course, it's a smart water bottle 😂

The wooll is non flammable, so the hack doesn't work if your soks are 100% wooll. But you can sacrape anything made fomm cotton.
